Whatever Rhaegar thought, what Dany actually saw was a prophecy (about the three heads of the dragon - Rhaegar is "looking" at Dany, thefore she must be one of them; he holds Aegon, so he must be another, and Rhaegar says that "there must be another one"), and not just "a day in Rhaegar's life".

Have you actually seen Aegon's brains on the wall? All you know is that it was some unlucky baby. Sure, he can be easily identified... with his head crashed... Don't you think Rhaegar (or
Elia) could be smart enough to hide their heir away when the war is so near? Even Cersei was bright enough for that (hiding Tommen when the war was near King's Landing).

Right, but Dany is only one of the dragon heads (though she is the promised one - she is the only pure dragon blood, remember?)

But that still doesnt account for the obvious age difference. So Im rambling.... |
So we agree that Aegon is not Jon. Lyanna had a much more important last wish than defending Aegon - she had her own son to care about.

Come on, give George R.R. Martin more credit than that! Hiding a twenty-year old woman as a guy? Sure, "Alleras" is "Sarella" spelled backwards, but this only proves that he knows her (and they were probably close, maybe grown together - recall that Sarella is the Viper's daughter, and what a better place to hide a half-dornish boy that looks like Elia than give him to Viper?) So Aegon must have chosen "Alleras" because of that, or a similar reason.
Besides, remember Aemon phrase "the Sphinx it the riddle, not the riddler"? And why do you think the dragonglass candle is burning in the Citadel since the Sphinx got there?
